Watching the Korean athletes march together, and the North & South Korean hockey players carry the torch together while their flags waved next to each other was very touching. For me, anyway. [blinks back tears]

Top that, Pence and President My Button is Bigger than Yours!

If you missed it, there was an amazing drone light show, too.

The fact that Pence remained seated when the host country's athletes walked in was rude and churlish.

Russia, which has been banned from the Games for doping, said days before the opening ceremony that any allegations linking Russian hackers to attacks on the infrastructure connected to the Pyeongchang Olympic Games were unfounded.

“We know that Western media are planning pseudo-investigations on the theme of ‘Russian fingerprints’ in hacking attacks on information resources related to the hosting of the Winter Olympic Games in the Republic of Korea,” Russia’s foreign ministry said.

“Of course, no evidence will be presented to the world.”

Cyber security researchers said in January they had found early indications that Russia-based hackers may be planning attacks against anti-doping and Olympic organizations in retaliation for Russia’s exclusion from the Pyeongchang Games.

Off Topic

Not trying to steer this off topic, but I just wanted to comment: I don't get why Putin thinks denying hack attacks will fool anyone. It makes him look silly. You'd think someone with that much power would just admit to it and dare the world to try and stop him.

(Turns on NBC Sports Network, is happy to watch U.S. v. Finland in women's hockey) (Does not see "LIVE" indicator in corner of screen, checks for score on Internet, finds that U.S. won 3-1, 11 hours ago) (Changes channel) #NBCFail #Olympics

Nice going @NBCOlympics you hired an analyst as smart as your president. America needs to stop sending their dumbest to represent them internationally. #Olympics2018 #NBCFail #NBCSports

There’s absolutely no way Katie Couric’s writers aren’t trolling her right now. Today, she said on national television that the reason the Dutch have so many speed skating medals is because skating is an important mode of transportation in Amsterdam when it freezes. #NBCFail
